Муданг в търсене на нови пространства

Развитието на кибершаманизъм в Република Корея

Резюме

The Republic of Korea is an example of a high-tech and economically developed country. While the rapid modernisation and development do not stop, the Land of the morning calm manages to save its distinctive cultural characteristics and at the same time to keep them alive in the fast-paced life of the Korean society. The contemporary situation in South Korea creates new conditions and trends, in which the Korean traditional culture, in particular, the shamanism is shaped in use on the needs of the Korean people. The elaboration of the cyberspace in Korea and the heavy use of the Internet from the Koreans requires by mudang to start looking for new spaces for practising this old system of beliefs. Consequently, this helps for the emergence of a new type of shamanism, which is called cybershamanism.
